QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) After this season we will get reports of how hurt Konerko is and what a trooper he proved to be. Meanwhile a little rest might mean he gets a bit better. Bu Yep, he's doing us no good playing injured.

Poor Rios, he has to leadoff a lot of innings. I can't remember the last time Konerko barreled up a ball.

Nice job by Sale that inning

Beckham's bat speed is awful right now. He needs to get his swagger back at the plate.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 06:29 PM) i just took a quick look back at the 2012 "BOLD sox predictions" thread here at Soxtalk. some impressive prognostication skills on display I was as accurate as you can be...if accurate means completely wrong

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 07:19 PM) Oh Paulie, please tell us what's wrong. I'd love to see if he can even drive the ball during batting practice.

Way to carry us Adam!

It seems like Boesch is starting to get it going finally. It's amazing how bad Raburn's been this year.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 06:56 PM) That's probably gonna be a rough series for us, you would think, with Axelrod and Humber pitching. You mean you don't like the possibility of facing a healthy Red Sox lineup with Axelrod, Humber, Quintana and possibly someone like Leesman? Hopefully Floyd's ok and we the offense can carry the Sox.

Leadoff homer for Austin Jackson with Verlander pitching

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) 122 pitches for Floyd against the Yankees, look at Peavy's pitch count and tell me they aren't pushing their starters. I agree with you on this. Last night was just stupid.

KW has no choice but to be overly aggressive in acquiring a starting pitcher now. These injuries are getting ridiculous.

Coming into tonight, 123 of the 168 change-ups that Fernando Rodney has thrown have been strikes.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 03:08 AM) Only positive is that Cleveland and Detroit lost. Oh well let's go for the series win with Sale on the mound tmr. Agreed, could have been much worse if not for the miracle win last night. Sox have to get Peavy and Konerko righted for the 2nd half of the year.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) It all pretty much came down to the decision of sacfrice bunting Beckham over, when has that ever worked out in our favour? You knew Dunn would be coming up and Konerko, who has been one of the worst players in the league that past month and a half, so why bunt. +100000000000000000000000000 Bunting there did nothing but play right into KC's hands. Also, with how shaky our pitching is right now, playing for one run in the 7th inning seemed too conservative, and ADA has swung the bat well tonight and had a huge hole between 1st and 2nd.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) Well with Butler and Francour coming up you really don't want to go out with a lefty on the mound, who else could u really trust in a 1 run ball game. Jones is pretty much the only option. The starting pitcher was clearly gassed, as he was lucky to survive the 6th and then gave up the homer in the 7th. Not only that, but Billy Butler owns Peavy. Let Omogrosso start the inning.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) I'm telling you WHY they let him pitch so long compared to other starters. You don't agree there's a different standard? Managers can't get the ball from him. Not saying I agree with it all the time tho. If a manager is scared to take the ball from a pitcher, then that manager should not have a job.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) Someone wake up Ventura. When's he returning from the All-Star Break?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) Like Lefebre just said you need to wrestle Jake to get the ball out of his hands. It's a different standard when he's on the mound. That's just so stupid...you really fall for the "grinder" lines, don't you?

Pathetic decision making by the coaching staff. Most hits on the season allowed by Peavy.

Come on, get him out of there. Sox are going to need Peavy during the 2nd half, and having him go 120 pitches in starts is just asking him to wear down.

Amazing how many hangers KC has gotten away with

AJ better be batting for Flowers

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) this loss is all on jake! He's giving up a lot of homers on fastballs of late.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) Damn. Was hoping to pick up a game tonight. Theres always some f***er on KC who kills us, year in year out. Hollands going to tough to score on We can get to Broxton again
